The Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office said an autopsy determined Paul Kessler died as a result of a blunt force head injury and called the manner of death a homicide.
By Jeremy Childs, Los Angeles TimesProtesters wave Israeli flags during a rally in support of Israel and against Saturday's attack on Monday, Oct. 9, 2023 in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said the incident was reported just after 3:20 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Westlake Boulevard and Thousand Oaks Boulevard, near the L.A. County border. Opposing protesters — pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian — had taken a stand on either side of the intersection when an altercation occurred, authorities said.
No arrests had been made as of Monday night, and the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with details for authorities can contact Det. Corey Stump at 384-4745. Barclay said he did not know Kessler well but had exchanged email correspondence with him over the years and called him “a man committed to peace and committed to Israel.”
Ventura County Supervisor Jeff Gorell, whose district covers the location where the incident took place, said he’d been briefed by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.
